My 3 essential makeup tips every bride should know to stay looking perfect in her wedding photos
Start with a Flawless Base:
The key to a perfect bridal makeup look is a flawless base. Begin by prepping your skin with a hydrating moisturiser and primer to ensure a smooth and even application of foundation. I wouldn't recommend a facial treatment a day before in case your skin happens to break out in spots. Choose a long-wearing, luminous foundation that matches your skin tone perfectly and provides the desired coverage. Make sure that your foundation does not oxidise on the skin over time. Blend well and set with a translucent powder in the T zone. To minimise shine and ensure your makeup stays put throughout the day, use a setting spray.
Enhance Your Natural Features
Bridal makeup should enhance your natural features and complement your wedding-day look. Opt for soft and romantic eyeshadow shades, such as warm grey, taupe, light pink, raspberry, or brown, that accentuate your eyes without overpowering them. Define your lash line with gel or pencil eyeliner in a black or brown colour. Frame your brows with a brow pencil or pen for a polished look, making sure they look natural and soft rather than blocky and square.
Add a touch of coral blush to the apples of your cheeks for a healthy, radiant glow. The coral blush flatters every skin tone. Finish with a neutral lip colour that enhances your natural lip shape and complements your overall bridal ensemble.
Choose Long-lasting Formulas
On your wedding day, you'll want your makeup to look flawless from morning until night. Choose long-lasting formulas for your makeup products, including waterproof mascara, smudge-proof eyeliner, and transfer-resistant lipstick. Consider using a makeup setting spray to lock in your makeup and ensure it stays fresh and in place throughout the day.
